FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running marathons?
The Asics GEL-1130 trainers are designed for everyday comfort and urban use, incorporating GEL™ technology for shock absorption. While they offer good cushioning, they are not specialized marathon running shoes and may not provide the advanced features required for competitive long-distance racing.
How much recycled material is used in the upper?
The upper of these trainers incorporates at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to a more sustainable product.
What does the TRUSSTIC™ system do?
The TRUSSTIC™ system is derived from ASICS professional running shoes and provides midfoot structural integrity, enhancing stability and support during your stride.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Cleaning with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the benefit of the special sockliner dyeing process?
The innovative dyeing process used for the sockliner significantly reduces water consumption and CO2 emissions, making the production more environmentally friendly.
How do I find the correct UK size?
Please refer to the specific Asics sizing guide provided with the product or on their official website. Measure your foot length and compare it to the chart for the most accurate UK size selection.
What is the main inspiration behind the GEL-1130 model?
The GEL-1130 is a reissue of a 2008 running shoe, paying homage to the GEL-1000™ series with an archival silhouette updated with modern features and sustainable solutions.
Troubleshooting
Sizing feels incorrect
Ensure you have referred to the Asics sizing chart. Different models can fit slightly differently. Consider the specific measurements for UK shoe sizes.
Reduced cushioning over time
The GEL™ technology is designed for durability. If cushioning feels significantly reduced, it may indicate heavy wear. Consider replacing the shoes if they are heavily used.
Discoloration of the "Faded Denim" material
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors. Clean with a damp cloth as per care instructions and avoid abrasive cleaning agents.
